Default 275/70R17 wil i need spacers?

Well winter has hit hard in Alberta and im skidding and sliding with the SRA's....

I am looking to run BFG all terrains as winter tires without needing new wheels or spacers, will i need spacers if I get 275/70R17's???
I am also torn between the bfg's and duratracs as winter tires, I know i will need spacers for duratracs as they are 285's...

what are your suggestions?

I'm not sure what you got there but I love my Duratracs, I use 285/70r17 without spacers so I'm not sure why you feel you need them not sure what wheel you got. I got 3 years out of one set of Duratracs and 80k miles, I still have some tread left but I need a new set soon, will stick with the Duratracs.

I have the stock 17" moabs with stock Goodyear SRA's...not very good for canadian winters... I know for a fact I will need spacers on the 285's with the stock wheels but want to know about 275/70r17 if anyone runs them or knows about them. I think they run at 32.2"x10.8".
